At Domino City, Home to Duelists.

It been a week since the duel between Z-Arc and Mai Valentine.

However that entire duel was broadcast throughout the entire region.

Thus why the duelists that retired are at Domino City to discuss about this.

Ray Akaba: "Z-Arc is not a joke as both himself and his allies are excellent Duelists" she said.

Yugi: "I agree however his allies are familiar" he said.

An: reminder these duelists are reincarnations thus why they look different, older and don't know these villains.

Juden: "same" he said.

Yusei: "I agree Z-Arc allies are familiar yet none of us meet them" he said.

Yuma: "So what now? Clearly we can't beat them without getting out of retirement" he said.

Ray: "Maybe we can train future duelists as clearly Union isn't successful" she said a bit hatful towards her old academy.

Yugi: "I agree. Which means we have to recreate our own academy" he said.

Yuma: "what about Duel Academy?" He suggested surprising everyone at how classic that name is.

All: "I agree with that" they all said thus Duel Academy is born.

Meanwhile at Masters/Mistress of Cards Fortress.

Watching the meeting of retired duelists is Z-Arc himself who is smiling sinisterly.

Z-Arc: "Send your best duelists. We are prepared for anything" he said then started to laugh evilly as his armies are soldiers of dueling itself.
